A nine-year-old boy received the birthday present of a lifetime recently when he met four of his golfing heroes.

Aaron was lucky enough to hitch a ride to Wentworth golf club ahead of the BMW PGA Championship with Andrew 'Beef' Johnston, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Martin Kaymer.

The opportunity arose after Aaron's father got in touch with The European Tour asking if they could do something special for his son's birthday, and the golfing organisation didn't disappoint.

Waiting on the side of the road with his father for a lift, Aaron is left speechless when he is picked up by none other than favourite golfer Beef Johnston.

The little boy can then hardly believe his luck when the 28-year-old says they also need to pick up Rose.

And if that wasn't already a dream, Aaron is left utterly starstruck when Rose asks if they can pick up Stenson.

The little golfer is soon travelling to Wentworth sat between golfing royalty - a gold medal winner to his right and last year's The Open champion to his left.

But the birthday surprise isn't over for Aaron. Upon arriving at the golf club, he is greeted by his fourth favourite hero, Kaymer.

The pair then take to the 18th green to have a little putt.

After taking a group selfie with his heroes, Aaron turns to his dad and very sweetly says "that is the best thing you've ever got me".

Speaking about the opportunity, Beef said: "I heard about doing it about a week before. I said, yeah, let’s do it. I’m in. He told me it was before the pro-am at 5am so I said maybe not so much now.

"It was really good. Watching it back was good. I was driving so I couldn’t really see his face. All I got was the more guys that got in, the quieter he got. When I watched it and saw his face and his dad, it was wicked. I love doing things like that and making people’s day and giving back."
